We are pleased to announced that we have finalized the process of securing trusted members of the community to act as escrow partners for our crowdsale. Vlad Zamfir, Joe Urgo, and Jae Kwon will be helping to secure BTC and ETH received during our crowdsale by acting as trusted key holders of our multi-signature wallets.

Here's a brief bio on our signees:

Vlad Zamfir: Vlad is a researcher working on the Ethereum transition from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake. Vlad is enthusiastic about fault tolerance, consensus protocols, coalition-proof consensus mechanism design, blockchain governance and blockchain ethics.

Joe Urgo: Joe is the Founder/CEO of sourcerers.io, a recruiting and consulting firm for Ethereum-based projects. Joe also currently serves as Director of Operations at Ethlance and Editor at The Dapp Daily. Previously, Joe spent 3 years at Coinbase as an Operations Manager, and worked at Three Arrows Capital as a Derivatives Trader.

Jae Kwon: Jae is a technical entrepreneur, the author of the Tendermint whitepaper, and a force behind Cosmos, the internet of blockchains. Jae’s mission is to create sound cryptoeconomic systems for the safety and livelihood of everyone on this fragile planet.

We hope you're all pleased with our choices and the WeTrust team is looking forward to your participation in our upcoming crowdsale on 3/1!

Open Zepplin is a smart contract security auditor and has helped find flaws and improve the security for projects such as: Golem, FirstBlood, Wings DAO, Digix Global, Consensys, Rootstock, many more!

According to Manuel Aráoz, "Overall, code quality is good, it’s well commented, and most well-known security good practices were followed. This was one of the most well written contracts we had to audit."

Due to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage impacting numerous infrastructure services and exchanges (e.g. Coinbase/ GDAX), we have decided to delay the Crowdsale launch by 24 hours to March 2nd, 12:00AM UTC.

We apologize for this change in schedule. However, we believe that it is critical to have a smooth crowdsale experience.

Everything else stays the same, the only difference is that the start date and bonus schedule have been pushed back by 24 hours. Please help us spread this to the greater community.

Just a friendly reminder, the WeTrust Crowdsale is starting in less than 30 minutes! Visit wetrust.io to sign up. QR Codes with deposit addresses will pop up at 12:00 AM UTC (March 2nd, 2017)! Instructions how to contribute:

Here at WeTrust, we believe that the blockchain can be used for social good. As a demonstration of our commitment to that mission, we recently organized a Trusted Charity Circle(inspired by Trusted Lending Circles) on the WeTrust platform. Here’s how it works:

1. During each week of the Charity Circle, each member will contribute 5 Ether into the pool2. One member of the group will be selected at random as the winner of the Ether pool each week, with no member winning the pot more than once3. The recipient of the funds for that week then donates the proceeds to a charity of their choice4. Over the course of the 5 week period, every week each person ends up contributing 25 Ether to the charity of their choice

The purpose of taking these actions above, is to demonstrate for the first time that the WeTrust Platform is capable of supporting similar use cases where participants collaborate transparently as a group in a financial endeavor, contributes tokens, and receives tokens distributed back to them over time, without the need for a trusted third party. One can imagine all the new ways application developers will use these improved capabilities to build decentralized applications.

We’re very lucky to have some major movers and shakers in the blockchain world generously agreeing to participate in our Trusted Charity Circle. Thank you: Matthew Roszak of Bloq/ Tally Capital, Jeremy Gardner of Blockchain Capital/ Auger, David Johnson of Factom, Emin Gun Sirer of Cornell, and George our co-founder!

Here at WeTrust, we believe our Rotating Savings and Credit Association (ROSCA)/ Trusted Lending Circle products can truly change the world! In addition to their traditional use as a way for people in a group to save together and receive money when they desperately need it, we’ve seen other unique situations that would be well suited for our ROSCA products. In Part 1 of this 4 part series, we take a look at a few uses of the ROSCA/ Trusted Lending Circle mechanism!

WeTrust, a platform created for savings and lending on the blockchain, has partnered with DigixGlobal, a company putting digital gold tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. I'm looking forward to enabling Gold based Lending Circles very soon and are excited to be working with DigixGlobal to amplify the strengths of Lending Circles through the use of technology.

A key factor in driving mass adoption of Trusted Lending Circles on the blockchain is providing the ability for users to use the unit of account of their choice. Gold has a storied history and are currently used lending circles around the world. We must support multiple types of tokens, and Digix gold tokens is a logical next step due to demand from users.

Here at WeTrust, we are focused on building a community of enthusiastic and passionate supporters who believe in using the blockchain to improve financial inclusion. Recently, we reached out to some members of our community to get their thoughts on our project and our ongoing crowdsale. We really appreciate the great responses from WeTrust community members @johngalt, @pablox, and @cryptoks.

If you want to participate in our community, join our Slack or our ongoing crowd sale. We welcome and look forward to any questions, constructive comments, and debate regarding our project. In fact, our discussions with members of our community often lead us to ideas for improving our product. Join us in using blockchain to create a new financial system that’s For the People, By the People.

The WeTrust team is happy to announce the new version of Trusted Lending Circles MVP (on Ropsten revival testnet) now supports ERC20 tokens. Here's a list of ERC 20 Tokens currently on the Ethereum Blockchain.

Why is this important?When serving customers outside the crypto-fan community, it is crucial to make the product as accessible as possible to everyone. One important hurdle to overcome is that ROSCA (aka Trusted Lending Circle) participants should be able to work with the currency they use on a day to day basis. Just like a Russian user probably wouldn’t want to run a ROSCA using USD and a Canadian user wouldn’t want to run a ROSCA using the British Pounds, in a similar way both of them would prefer not to use ETH as the currency of the ROSCA. Doing so will let them keep clear of any currency fluctuation risks associated with using any currency other than the one they deal with on a daily basis.

Supporting ERC20 opens the door to using stablecoins with WeTrust ROSCAs. What are stablecoins? These are cryptocoins that are guaranteed to track the value of real world goods and currencies, e.g., Digix’s DGD (tracking real-world gold), Tether’s USDT (tracking USD), Consensys’s StabL and Maker’s Dai (both tracking several coins in their own way).

Jae Kwon is the CEO of Tendermint, a project aimed at liberating the blockchain from the costs and drawbacks of proof-of work-mining. His mission is to make this technology more accessible, in order to accelerate the adoption of decentralized ledger technology. He also serves as an escrow on the WeTrust project.
